A few of us girlies up in Auckland are going to stay over in a bach with plenty of nibbles, booze and a spa if you fancy that too )

I'll come and see the All Blacks in Auckland with you, I can never find anyone who wants to share that experience with me (the Warriors are a Wellington rugby team??) Will be great to catch up again )

And so I find, after two years here, that I've really not been doing the things I had hoped to.

Some would say that with 4 kids, 2 dogs, a house etc what did I hope to fit in other than occasionally the opportunity to paint my toenails. I would respond "More, much more, than I have."

I shall be in the last year of my 30's in *ahem* days/weeks. Before I turn the big 4 0 I want to achieve things. Conquer my fears. Dance the light fantastic. Snog Robbie Williams and shag Jonnie Depp. I want to see places I've only seen in the travel guides. I want to live a lot.

Time is a factor, not age. I am busy, setting up a business and studying. But that aside I don't want my weekends to be spent doing, well, not a fat lot really. I feel I'm not living, life is passing me by. And I'm in grave danger of suffering from commitment fatigue ...

Thus far I've decided;

We are going skiing in Queenstown for a week in July.
I am going to do this
And this

Any other ideas?

Doesn't matter what it is or where in NZ it is, I'd like to get on and try something new and exciting at least every month for the next 12?

:) Everone was singing away to the song and them my flapping jowls appeared.
